Fees for Wills
If you do not have a Will, or require a new one, our fees are as follows:
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Single Will | £250 + VAT* |
| Two Wills (e.g. for couples) | £350 + VAT* |
| Codicil (per codicil) | £100 + VAT* |
If you have an existing Will and need to make minor changes, for example changing a beneficiary or executor, we can draft a Codicil which is a supplementary document to the Will.
If substantial changes to your Will are required, it may be best to have a new Will drafted. We can review your current Will and the changes you wish to make and advise accordingly.
Probate
Our fees are based on an hourly rate and are dependent on the Solicitor instructed.
| Solicitor | Hourly Rate |
